The prize pool, after the initial $1,600,000 from Valve, has been entirely funded by fans, who get rewarded as certain milestones are surpassed. The pool is funded by fan purchases of a digital ‘International 3 Compendium’. So far the milestones are as follows:

$1,700,000 – 125% Battle Points boost until the end of The International 3

$1,850,000 – Added upgrades for the Courier included with the Compendium

$2,000,000 – A custom HUD skin

$2,200,000 – A taunt item

$2,400,000 – Vote on participants of an 8 player solo tournament

$2,600,000 – A new, exclusive ‘immortal’ item

$3,200,000 – Vote on the next hero to be released
